Producers Webster Stone and Robert Stone (“Gone in Sixty Seconds,” “The Negotiator”) have acquired the screen rights to late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain’s 1997 crime novel “Gone Bamboo”. The plan is to pen a pilot for a potential scripted series.
Dubbed a wiseass crime comedy and set on the island of St. Martin, the story follows sharpshooting hedonistic assassin Henry Denard who botches a career-capping hit.
He must enlist the help of his skilled, stunning, and volatile wife to save their skins, dispatch the villains, and keep the peace – at all costs – in their tropical paradise.
It was Bourdain’s second book, coming between “Bone in the Throat” and “Kitchen Confidential” with the latter serving as the basis for the Bradley Cooper-led FOX series of the same name.
